By MERCY MWENDE More by this AuthorA man accused of killing former Nyeri MP John Nderitu Githua has been acquitted due to lack of evidence. Herman Munene was released after High Court judge Jairus Ngaah ruled that the prosecution only provided circumstantial evidence. The suspect was accused of killing Mr Githua on December 5, 2009 in Gathugu. Mr Githua was on December 16, 2009 found dead on a sofa covered with a blanket in his three-roomed house. “The suspect cannot be tied to Mr Githua’s murder only because he lived in the same compound or house with him whereas beside him, the deceased’s sister testimony was required,” he said.
